US Bank Launches Corporate Payments Mobile App

US Bank said that corporate travel and purchasing card clients will be able to retrieve account information on the go, with the launch of the bank’s Access Online Mobile app.

A complement to Access Online, the bank’s data management and reporting tool, the app provides real-time access to essential account information from virtually anywhere. It simplifies account management for the cardholder and reduces the burden on programme administrators.

The bank added that the app enables cardholders to see account summary information, such as balance, transaction history, and payment due dates. Upcoming enhancements include fraud, transaction, and security alerts; electronic receipt attachment; and mobile single-use account payment capability.

“Mobile devices are blurring the line between corporate and consumer need,” said Dominic Venturo, chief innovation officer for US Bank. “Customers want a consistent, familiar experience, whether they’re paying their mortgage at home or managing invoices at work. Tools must be simple, intuitive, and offer high-value, low-cost functionality. This app delivers on all counts in a very real way. We are excited to bring Access Online Mobile to market.”

The US money market fund reforms came into effect in 2016 and are already dramatically shaping US fund industry with investors flooding out of prime funds and into government securities. While the reforms are similar, they are not the same. GTNews interviews Yeng Bulter, global head of the cash business at State Street Global Advisors on the differences.

There are various ways for financial institutions to benefit from advanced technologies and business models provided by FinTech's. Whether a business' approach is radical or incremental, data management can help a company to increase their return on investment, argues André Casterman, INTIX.

The payments landscape for corporates hasn’t gotten much clearer over the last decade, but global multi-banking continues to grow. Twenty-three per cent of corporates reportedly originate payments with 11 or more banks, and more than 24% operate within each of the major world regions.
